Roberta Murray

Roberta Murray is an impressionist landscape painter from Rocky Mountain House, Alberta, Canada. She is an eighth generation Canadian who spent much of her childhood with relatives in the ranching areas of southwestern Alberta listening to romantic tales of their life from the land. A deep love for nature and the land developed early on and she was naturally drawn to art as a visual journal of these stories.Having painted since childhood, Roberta borrowed ideas learned through the fibre arts and photography in expressing the story or mood. Her style evolved to an impressionistic style that tries to capture the spirit of place more so than a factual representation. Her paintings are evocative, existing in a state of familiarity for many. There is a romantic softness inherent in the work that nurtures a connection with the poetic side of nature.

Roberta is a member of the Federation Of Canadian Artists, Oil Painters Of America, and American Women Artists. Her work is in private collections across North America and the United Kingdom.
